I'm working on a setup which wants to include the Microsoft.Web.Services3 (WSE 3.0) DLL. However, I typically do not like including Microsoft DLL's in our installs except by way of Microsoft's redistributables. There is both a developer and a redist install package available from Microsoft. So, as a best practice, should I include the s...
Sorry if this all runs together; it looks like the line breaks aren't showing up in the preview window. I got this output when running sudo cpan Scalar::Util::Numeric; thx, Josh. jmm@freekbox:~/bfwsandbox/sa/angel/astroportal/dtu8e/resources$ sudo cpan Scalar::Util::Numeric [sudo] password for jmm: CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to re...
My attempts to install modperl under the default vanilla Leopard Apache 2 have failed and all I can find online are variations on this: I would like if possible not to rely on MacPorts or Fink, though if they can be made to work with the default Apache 2 install that would probably be ok. (The best answer is the one that I've supplied ...
Doesn't work with other modules, but to give an example. I installed Text::CSV_XS with a CPAN setting: 'makepl_arg' => q[PREFIX=~/lib], When I try running a test.pl script: $ perl test.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use lib "/homes/foobar/lib/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi"; use Text::CSV_XS; print "test"; I get ...
I searched the net and handbook, but I only managed to learn what is the masked package, and not how to install it. I did find some commands, but they don't seem to work on 2008 (looking at it, it seems those are for earlier versions). I have something like this: localhost ~ # emerge flamerobin Calculating dependencies !!! All ebuilds ...
I'm setting up a new development server and want to install the latest version of SQL Server 2008 Express. Will our existing sql2005 databases work with 2008 without modification? If so is there any reason to install both versions on the same server? ...
Looking for a way to programatically, or otherwise, add a new instance of SQL 2005 Express Edition to a system that already has an instance installed. Traditionally, you run Micrsoft's installer like I am in the command line below and it does the trick. Executing the command in my installer is not the issue, it's more a matter of dragg...
I'm really sick of this problem. Google searches always seem to suggest "delete all bpls for the package", "delete all dcus". Sometimes this just-does-not-work. Hopefully I can get some other ideas here. I have a package written in-house, which had been installed without issue a few months ago. Having made a few changes to the source, I...
I have been trying to determine a best case solution for registering a COM server using WiX to create a Windows Installer package and am struggling. In this post http://blog.deploymentengineering.com/2008/09/howto-use-regsvr32exe-with-wix.html there is an open request for the "Setup police" to crack down on using regsvr32 through an exe...
This might sound like a little bit of a crazy question, but how can I find out (hopefully via an API/registry key) the install time and date of Windows? The best I can come up with so far is to look at various files in C:\Windows and try to guess... but that's not exactly a nice solution. ...
I haven't installed Visual Studio before on my computer. However when I try to install Visual Studio 2008 Express SP1 I get an error message "Setup has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to install this software. These requirements must be met before you can install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with ...
I generally build web based applications. But, there is sometimes a need to distribute these applications to various platforms and have them act more like regular applications than web apps. A quick solution might be to create an icon that opens the browser with no menu, url bar, or icons. It looks like IE might have some options for ...
Where is a reliable registry key to find install location of Excel 2007? ...
We've got an application we'd like our users to download. Currently they click a link and download the EXE. What we'd like to do is have a launchpad/downloader application that would be small and fast to download, which would then download and install the main application. In a perfect world the downloader would be a MSI (so we could ...
The install instructions are: $ python setup.py build $ sudo python setup.py install # or su first This gives me an .egg file. How do I tell the install to dump the files as a normal, uncompressed library? Thanks! ...
Our installation program is written using InstallShield2009, and as part of certification requirements we have to support Unicode throughout. The application itself is .NET, so supports Unicode natively, however on testing our installation with a Chinese character set we can see problems thrown up by InstallShield dialogs. Having done ...
I have a .Net program that I want to install on a terminal server. In the past I've created installer projects and generated an MSI. However, terminal servers require all users be bumped off before running an MSI and I want to avoid that. Is there a way to do an install without a MSI? Sometimes for some user accounts I can simply cop...
I am implementing an installer for one of our products that requires MySQL as a prerequisite. I would like to have a bootstrap program that queries the user for any information needed for any prerequisite products and our product. Once the user has entered in all the necessary information they can press next and walk away while the ins...
Hi, I need some help on asp.net mvc install. I got the below two errors when I try to install ASP.NET MVC Beta: Faulting application devenv.exe, version 9.0.21022.8, time stamp 0x47317b3d, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x006c0061, process id 0x11d8, application ...
Many of our customers have access to InstallShield, WISE or AdminStudio. These aren't a problem. I'm hoping there is some way I can provide our smaller customers without access to commercial repackaging tools a freely available set of tools and steps to do the file replacement themselves. Only need to replace a single configuration file...
